Motorcycle Rim Tape Installation & Night Test Ride without Applicator
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ก.ย. 2014
- I installed some reflective rim tape on my Honda CBR 250R. An important step in the installation is prepping the wheels to ensure that it is clean. This kit did not come with an application tool so I had to stick them on by hand. Tools I needed were shop towels, grime and grease remover, scissors, and a rear motorcycle stand. After installation, I tested how reflective it was at night.
Thanks to Jenny, Isabel, and Christi for helping me film the night ride footage.

Something about your personality makes it so easy to watch and learn from you. You remind me of my cousin before he passed away so I can appreciate your subtle sense of humor. You’re awesome buddy (even if the vid is 5 yrs old)
Look up CustomTaylor33 reflective tape. It costs more but so much more reflective
Great comment. I didn't think the reflection was very bright, or effective.
They are best
Just ordered a yellow set. Thanks for the video and installation tut.
Thanks a lot for making such informative videos on lenegedary CBR250R
Fantastic !
Nice video, I am thinking about doing this on my bike as well!
I like your video style. Keep up the good work!
***** Thanks for the encouragement bro!
Thank you Brady!
Thank you! Most informative!
good video .
I actually pulled my wheels off when i did mine. also did it in my room, it's too hot out here in central florida !! I'm actually going to redo the first side that i did, i didnt realize there was enough tape in the kit and didn't overlap and have tiny gaps on the first side that i did....
+samuel lopes Thank you for the comment. The kit is cheap enough that you can buy extras for redoing it if you're not happy with the application.
Never mind the rim tapes, how the @#%$ do you get your chain so clean?
Good video.
cladbecaha exactly what I was thinking too.
I use to clean mine every weekend and it never look this clean.
I only clean it fortnightly now or when I’m really lazy, every 3rd week.
But I’d lube it every week though (but full clean every 2-3 weeks).
looks good. great video
+14Dollars FZ-09 Thanks.
good job buddy...
Hey Brady, Do you know which wheel tape you used for this?
and also, do you mind if I use a few seconds of your footage for a facebook video?
Thank you! The applicator is useless for me. I did it by hand like you did and got a much nicer finish 👌
Great to hear. Thanks for watching.
Your reflective strap/vest is really bright and shows up really well at 90 degrees and at angles. What brand is it? I would really like something like that!
+micbrock That would be this: amzn.to/2254P9S High Safety Security Visibility Reflective Vest Gear. I have added it to the description.
'Ok' is an understatement xD
Spraying the wheels with water helps as well to move the tape around, then smooth down and dry with a dry microfibre cloth, also, you need to overlap all the ends, in time and I mean a few weeks the tape will shrink,overlap them all
hey can u tell me wat the helmet are u using . its looks so cool
Use foggy to spray your rim tape and surface before applying.
Hopefully this help :)
Hey man, i know this vid is like years ago but what size were these rims? 17”s?
Hey man...I gonna get this baby next week ...is it a better choice over KTM'S RC 2OO..? Coz both comes under with same price tag in India
+Vicky Vignesh001 I have not tried the RC200. Perhaps someone who has will chime in.
It's better to start the tape in the same direction the overlap is when you spin the wheel when cleaning to prevent pulling up the edge.
The only problem arises when you stick the sticker directly is, you'll never get a room to adjust it whenever it looks unbalance visually. As a good advice, pour a little shampoo on a glass of water until the water in the glass turns slippery. Then, before you stick the sticker to its place, put some of that slippery shampoo/water to your rims so initial it won't stick immediately, so you can still adjust it till you find the perfect fit for the sticker. When everything fits right, just leave it for an hour, the sticker will still sticks perfectly at the right place.
+Al Alih Hamis That's an awesome advice. I have to try that in my next set. Thanks for your tips.
would be better to use alcohol. it vaporates completely instead of leaving a residue of soap on the rim
Isnt that dangerous? What if the sticker detached at high speed and got stuck in the wheels, will it not cause accident?
The strips will just get shredded.
awesome video... how's your tape holding up?
+Bilal Khan Tape is still going strong.
+BrownBrady Hii Mike, why didn't you applied white radium strip on tyre. I had applied on my bike Honda Hornet 160R it looks great!
And now?
U r the guy from Ichiban Moto. Am sure of that. Your accent matches.
I’m going to do this with reflective tape.
is it permanent or water proof ??
Man you should do a new paint job to your bike it will look awesome
have u gotten pulled over for this?
why would he get pulled over he's being safe a cop would need to be retarded to say that he shouldn't use something that keeps him safe
what song is this
I hate to say it, but your chain looked it was kinking. It did not look like it was coming off the bottom of the rear sprocket smoothly when you were rotating the wheel.
I'm a beginner to motorbike..
Please anyone suggest a good one.My options are duke /rc 200 & cbr250r
I'm using it as daily commuter (40km )A suggestion would be thankful
Rahul Sivadas Hayabusa is the best for beginners
@@justclickedtodislike9236 😂
Tyres ??
am i wrong or ur chain seems to be too tight in this video?
+jtdc86 I don't think so considering I haven't adjusted it since I bought the bike, so it should actually be loose if anything.
i thought so too
Are they really reflective? Thats the question..lol
WHAT WAS THE SIZE 5MM 7 MM
XAVIER MATA These were 8 mm.
Thanks your video are very helpful. .thanks for them
XAVIER MATA I added the product link in the description.
What nationality are you, I'm very curious
Who is Michael
That would be me.
BrownBrady haha okay. Confused because I just watched a few of your older videos. Thought your name was Brady.
Yup, I understand. That is my username at cbr250.net.
i cant see the tape
Boss pano kung ayaw dumikit kahit bagong bili?
Kung malinis yung rim, baka defective yung material.
Can you do a video on how to adjust the hight of rear mono shock.
Thanks in advance.
Aniket Karvir Sure will. Thanks for watching.
BrownBrady waiting for ur video , thanks in advance.
BrownBrady Wow you're serious. I'll have to buy the tool for it first.
Aniket Karvir Got the tool and practiced the adjustment today. Hopefully I'll have the video up tomorrow.
BrownBrady waiting.........
chain looks and sounds to tight. just saying.
Cool video. just a question why would you get such a small bike a 600 can last a lifetime it's a great beginning bike and you can have all the power you could ever want .
You need a light source pointing at the wheels from the observer's/camera's perspective to get the reflective effect... You are doing it wrong
Oh shit, I didn't catch your sarcasm.
Everywhere your fingers touched that adhesive is going to come free cuz oils from your hands are going to soak right in
Reezorce
In the dark, your vest, tail light, and license plate really pop. 5:26 The rim tape doesn't do much.
Wow...you need to put what ever the hell is on you jacket on you wheels. That is some serious reflective shit.
a perpendicular view with headlights was lacking
